Evaluation phytotoxic effects and decolorization of simulated and real textile wastewaters by UV/H2O2
Quiceno Gómez L., Hernández Gallo M., Cardona Rendón L., Arroyave Quiceno C., (Corresponding) Aristizábal Castrillón A.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
The discharge of dyes in aquatic ecosystems is of environmental concern due to intense coloration that decrease photosynthetic activity and the possible toxic effects (Hao et al., 2000). Therefore, the development and understanding of processes for the removal of textile dyes in wastewaters, like...Read more
Current state and challenges in WEEE recycling industry in Serbia - case study
(Corresponding) Berežni I., Batinić B., Stanisavljević N., Marinković T.
Topic:
Electric and electronic waste
Waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is defined as a special waste flow due to the fact that it contains hazardous materials and should not be mixed and treat with other waste streams. In order to ensure adequate environmental protection and proper management of this waste flow,...Read more
The mitigation of environmental impacts of high polluted effluents from tuna canning industry through eco-efficiency strategies
(Corresponding) Gutierrez M., Etxebarria S., Revilla M., Ramos S., Ciriza A., Sancho L., Zufia J.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
Food industry use high volume of water and energy to carry out their processes. Specifically, the fish canning industry generates effluents with high organic and saline loads, which complicates their suitable treatment before discharging to water bodies. The LIFE VERTALIM project has demonstrated...Read more

Unbiodegradable soluble COD removal from industrial wastewater by a hybrid moving bed biofilm reactor
Carucci A., Cappai G., Camedda C., Erby G., Puggioni G., (Corresponding) Milia S., Tocco G.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
In this study, plastics industry wastewater (PIWW) characterized by high total and soluble chemical oxygen demand (tCOD and sCOD, up to ~2200 and ~1500 mg/L, respectively) and remarkable unbiodegradable soluble COD (usCOD, 508±224 mg/L, 31±14% of tCOD) concentrations was treated at laboratory scale...Read more
Shipyards, Shipbreaking industry and the contribution of the Industry 4.0
(Corresponding) Pournara A., Konstantinidis F.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
Over the past years, a trend to monitor and control the procedures in various industries, has been attempted. It is known that the ship recycling procedure produces waste that turn to be highly dangerous for the environment, while the threat of atmospheric emissions is not yet solved. Today the...Read more

Shipyards and Ship breaking: Opportunities for utilization of steel under the prism of Circular Economy
(Corresponding) Pournara A., Sakkas V.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Among the activities that constitute the process of dismantling a ship is the obligation of proper management of hazardous materials. As almost the entire ship can be recycled, reused or even resold, the ship dismantling industry can also be considered a "green" industry. The steel used...Read more
Evaluation of Pressure-Driven Membrane Processes for Nutrients Recovery from Dilute Effluents
Tsaridou C., Karanasiou A., (Corresponding) Plakas K., Karabelas A.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Results are presented from an ongoing R&D project, aiming at full utilization of dairy-industry effluents. Development of a membrane-based method is pursued, for treatment of digestate (after fermentation yielding bio-gas) to recover nutrients (N-NH4, P-PO4) and water for reuse/recycling or...Read more

Degradation of refractory compounds in industrial wastewaters by advanced technologies based on electrochemical and photochemical oxidation
Petsi P., Sarasidis V., (Corresponding) Plakas K., Karabelas A.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Results are presented of a systematic experimental investigation aiming to eliminate refractory organics from industrial effluents, of high and non-biodegradable organic load, by two Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs). Bench scale experiments were performed with real wastewater samples collected...Read more
Implementing Circular Economy in Wineries: The Case of Greece
(Corresponding) Kounani A., Sotiropoulou E., Seleventi M.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Grape is considered one of the largest fruit crops in the world, since its 2017 production, the vast majority of which was used in winemaking, reached 74 MT globally and 24 MT in the EU. The main target of this paper is to highlight the urgent need for transforming the linear model into a circular...Read more
CARRYING CAPACITY ASSESSMENT OF THE SOUTH AEGEAN REGION, GREECE
(Corresponding) Vandarakis D., Malliouri D., Petrakis S., Kapsimalis V., Moraitis V., Hatiris G., Panagiotopoulos I.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
Since the early 1950’s Greece has been a top travel destination providing high-quality tourism services. This was amplified by the diverse landscape, extended sandy beaches, numerous archaeological sites, people’s mentality, safety, and adequate infrastructure. In particular, the south Aegean...Read more
